    Edwardian or 1930's? Not sure of date on this coat. Anyone? I am thinking 30's, but Ebay said edwardian? http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=320086401567&ssPageName=STRK:MEWN:IT&ih=011

    Can you help me date this item??

    The skirt is actually pretty bias cut, it's pretty narrow on me. Wasn't the fabric used in the 1970's blends and not pure silk? This one is hand sewn for the most part, which lends me to think it is earlier. It also looked like it was shortened, so it very well might have been a hostess gown.

    Spring is almost here! What vintage items will you be wearing?

    Another I have begun to get into for spring/summer is the mod mini dresses from the 1960's. Just recently, I have really started to expand my collection from just being 1920's and 1930's, now its 1910s-1960's.

    Vintage Bathing Suits

    The revamped suits are super cute! If I didn't have personal qualms against buying repros, I would be all over them. So, the bottom line about going in the water with something vintage, is it a yes or no? My two piece is made out of 'miracle' yarn, but I am not sure the miracle would hold up...

    Comments You Get When You Dress Vintage

    I love when little girls are facisinated by my vintage clothing. I went to pick up some stuff from my tailor, and her two daughters where they, probably aged 4 and 6, I was dressed in full out vintage, with gloves and hat and dress. They were so facinated by everything I had on, its like I as...

    Vintage Bathing Suits

    After some info from the gals on another thread I don't what I have is an actual bikini, but what they called a two piece, as I believe it is pre 1946. Is there any good ways to date a bathing suit, or are they pretty hard to date?

    I got a super cute knitted 1940's bikini today. It is supposedly made out of 'miracle' fabric called lyrcon. Are thier more bikins from this era, or one pieces?

    Incongruencies of body art?

    My view of people wearing vintage clothing is people can do whatever they want, because everyone has thier own personal style.
